Kings Cross Station - London - UK

The ongoing development of Kings Cross station in London will create a world-class transport hub for the 21st century that will be handling an estimated 60 million passengers by 2020. A crucial part of any major modern railway terminal is the public address (PA) system, which must be able to deliver clear announcements to all areas so that passengers and staff alike know what is going on.

Passengers need to know when trains are leaving or arriving and what platforms they have to get to. There is also the personal safety aspect of alerting people when there is a hazard like a slippery or uneven surface. The IDA8 system provides a voice to communicate with passengers adding value and peace of mind to their journey experience.
